February 5, 2026 - NCHSAA WRESTLING

The NCHSAA has adjusted the Dual Team Wrestling schedule for the second week of the state playoffs following the announced changes earlier this week. Scheduling for next week's opening rounds is not affected.

Third and fourth (regional) round matches along with state championship matches will take place on Monday, February 16 or Tuesday, February 17.

According to today's press release, the remaining teams in each classification "will compete at a centrally located site not hosting basketball events. This format eliminates Sunday competition, reduces the number of weigh-ins for participating student-athletes, and minimizes travel and financial burdens for schools."

Rather than traveling to one site for third and fourth round dual team matches; then some wrestlers traveling to Greensboro for the individual tournament on Friday and Saturday; then teams traveling to Greensboro for Sunday championships; the DT state quarter finals, semi-finals and championships will be determined in a single trip and individual wrestlers can then focus on the individual tournament.
